Do tell! But it does seem like a perfect partnering of professional button-pushers.

I ran into it at a used bookshop in Tucson, but I forgot to buy it on my way out: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fashion_Beast

I'm curious what McLaren might have contributed to the project. That is, McL's a concept guy, and it sounds like Moore already had the concept sketched out.

Looks like the concept was originally McLaren's, for a film: https://bleedingcool.com/comics/recent- ... do-percio/

Ah, okay, it makes some sense then.

Hello,

A-team, Indiana Jones, and Raiders of the Lost Arc. If it was the original Ghostbusters - not Ghostbusters II - I'd go for that. The same holds for Rocky and Rocky IV.

So, in my reading of Daredevil, I’m up to the 250s, with Ann Nocenti handling the writing. I’m not sure how I feel about her stuff because it’s paired up with the godawful John Romita Jr. and his exaggerated and very flat depictions. I can’t get into the stories with that hideous art. (That said, he’s been drawing Spider-man again and I’m enjoying his stuff much more, but his work in the 80s and 90s was just plain ugly.)

Ha, I'm the opposite, I can't get into his current SM art at all. I'm not a big JRJR fan in general, but Nocenti's run is easily one of my favorites.

I'll never be a fan of his, but at least now his stuff conveys three dimensions. That older work is little different from watching South Park.
